Who this template is for
Tenant Reference Request Form is built for agents, lettings teams and property managers who need to pre-qualify enquiries and gather documents up front.
- Agents, lettings teams and property managers working in real estate & property.
- Teams who need to pre-qualify enquiries and gather documents up front without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing viewings booked with people who were never eligible with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are buyers, renters and landlords — the form asks them 14 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of viewings booked with people who were never eligible and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features advanced show logic: if “Would you rent to them again?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “Reason”. Otherwise that question never appears.

- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Can this be completed by phone instead of the form?
Yes, but record the answers in the same fields so every application has a comparable record.
What if the previous landlord will not respond?
Try the employer reference and bank statements instead, and note the gap in the application file.
Should employer references answer the rent questions?
No, the salary and payment questions are aimed at landlord referees; employer replies focus on employment dates and conduct.
How much weight should one negative reference carry?
Read it alongside income and current references rather than in isolation; one dispute years ago is different from a recent pattern.
